Alex Hales: Quality of Pace Bowling in PSL Better Than IPL

Hales has been in good form in the fifth edition of PSL. In the Kings last encounter against Peshawar Zalmi, he smashed 49 off 27 balls to help his side gun down 152 inside 18 overs. Kings won the match by six wickets.

“IPL has more spinners to pick from, but here at the PSL the seam bowling is the toughest you will face anywhere in the world. I’d rank it certainly right up there,” Alex Hales was quoted as saying by Pakistani journalist Saj Sadiq in his tweet. Also Read - UAE Cricket Board Confirms Offer to Host IPL
